Dr. Maya Angelou, The Humanitarian, Author, Film Director, Singer, Dancer, Professor and Civil Rights activist, made her transition into the arms of her creator on Wednesday May 28th, 2014. This generation will now no longer have the privilege of knowing Dr. Angelou’s physical presence. The movement is an attempt to get this young generation to record her spirit into their own. A
chance for parents to sit with their young ones and say ‘Take Dr. Angelou’s words and keep them in a tender place in your soul, bury them in your marrow, and guard them --- with crossed-arms, behind your rib bones.’ This generation will record themselves twerking, or fighting. But I am asking you as parents and educators to show them something that is worth passing on and uploading. If you are in the media, a National Talk Show Host or even have a popular blog or youtube channel, please record yourself as you and follow the steps above. Make Dr. Angelou’s words go viral. Make her words vibrate to the heavens so she can hear that a new generation will always remember her words and her name. With Urgent Gratitude - Safiya Songhai
